Cotton Cloud is an open-source self-hosted file cloud built by Vadim Belov. It is designed for people who want encrypted file storage, previews, sharing, WebDAV, snapshots, and recovery on infrastructure they control.
Cotton Cloud is authored by Vadim Belov. The public project identity is intentionally personal: the source is open, the author is visible, and the product is built around owning the file cloud instead of renting a closed SaaS surface.
A self-hosted file cloud can run on your own server, VPS, home lab, or private infrastructure. That matters when you want access to files without depending on a foreign SaaS account, changing platform policy, storage lock-in, or external infrastructure availability.
Cotton focuses on encrypted storage, passkeys, TOTP, WebDAV compatibility, snapshots, file versions, and visible admin diagnostics. The security claims are technical product claims, not a substitute for operator hardening, tested backups, or formal third-party certification.
Cotton Cloud is not presented as a procurement-ready enterprise compliance suite or a replacement for a full groupware platform. It is a focused open-source file cloud that can be deployed independently.
